FUTSAL

Age 6 - 12 • 6:30 – 7:30P LOCATION: ELMWOOD COMMUNITY CENTER

Interested in getting your little ones involved in soccer/Futsal skills? Come join us at the ECC for the perfect spring recreational skills program. Futsal (Soccer in a room) aims to increase the player’s personal skills to the next level. It allows players to touch the ball up to 600% more than the traditional soccer thereby increasing the player’s decision-making skills and comfort with the ball. The Futsal ball is smaller and heavier, which allows the player to easily command the ball and gain increased confidence that seamlessly transitions to a soccer game. Participants should wear active clothing, sneakers, shin guards, and bring a water bottle. Participants are asked to bring their own Futsal ball or balls will be available for purchase for $20 on the 1st day of class. Instructor: Futsal & Street Soccer. No class: 5/31
